I WEAR PRESCRIPTION GLASSES, DO I HAVE TO TAKE THESE OFF FOR MY SKYDIVE?

I WEAR CONTACT LENSES, IS THIS OK?

Yes!  But we do suggest to bring your contact solution just in case your lenses dry out.

HOW DO I GET THERE?

Our meeting point is our Skydive Centre in the middle of town in Queenstown, from there we will take you to and from the Dropzone where you skydive.  In Rotorua, we'll pick you up from your accommodation. This is included in the price. 

DO YOU ALLOW SPECTATORS?

Providing we have enough space in our buses we can take spectators for free.  This won't be guaranteed and only available at the time of the trip. They are welcome to drive themselves to watch though.

CAN I TAKE MY CAMERA ON THE PLANE WITH ME?

No, this is due to safety reasons, but you can take photos on the ground while getting ready. We do provide an option for photos and DVDs, which look amazing!

CAN I DRIVE TO THE QUEENSTOWN DROPZONE MYSELF?

Yes you can, but you will still need to check in at the Nzone Skydive Centre for the briefing and then they will give you directions.
